We are as old as time itself
Though our eternal youth can not be denied

We are the forward thinkers
Which none can comprehend

We are philosophy and science
All rolled up into one

We are the visions of the future
And the memories of the past

We are the purveyors of beautiful dreams
And even some nightmares too

We are the very embodiment of creativity
Conjuring fantasies for others to marvel at

We are who rush to the aid of those in need
While fighting our own battles alone

We are the givers of the warmest light
In a world so dark and cold

We are those who take that which we hold so dear
And give it all selflessly to you

We are the lone champions of good
As the world looks away

We are made not for material bindings
Rather the riches of emotional fulfillment

We are the overachieved
And the under appreciated

We are the weird
We are the wonderful
We are…
Aquarius

G. A. Webb

Regret not that which you have done,
Rather that which you haven't

Thank you both. Being a "water bearer" myself, I had to do one like this sooner or later. I realize that this isn't that dark, but when I post I post here, dark, light or indifferent. Anyways, thanks again.
